Precious Stones -Mines of Afganistan

Afganistan is the country where they extract the best quality of my favourite semiprecious stone -Lapis Lazuli. I discovered that there are different videos telling about the mines and miners' work. Because Afganistan is rich not only on Lapis but on other precious stones, too, there are different mines there. Here you can see two of the videos that are, I thought, the most expressive.
